A leading role in all stages of an athlete's life
Just before effort, even before the warm-up period, it will permit:
- To stimulate blood flow
- To improve joint fluidity
- To bring better elasticity and plasticity of fascias, tendons and muscles to reduce the risk of injury.
At rest, muscles and tendons are at a 36°C temperature. But their maximal performance is at 39°C.
At this temperature, tendons are more elastics, and the flexibility of muscles is increased. (between 60 and 80% more according to some research)
Muscle strength also increase with temperature. (2% per degree)
- Reduction of muscle pain
- Diminution of muscle stiffness
- Efficacity on chronic and tendomuscular pain
- Drain with a diminution of lactates
Fighting against sport burn-out (constant efforts, repeated emotional pressure, physical overtraining with intense involvement over a long period of time)
Sessions act on the parasympathetic nervous system and allow deep relaxation, which improve sleep quality and bring a better recovery after long journeys.
As it is a traumatizing event in a top athlete’s career, it often creates a major imbalance and brings moments of doubt.
Infratherapy take its whole place in a preventing strategy of pain and also reactive strategy with a better recovery and better healing.
